Feeling better after yoga

[Janechic]

I have just started doing daily yoga and have found it relaxing as well as good for the core and posture. I found it difficult to do because of the weight around my middle lol but by doing the breathing and just working within my limits it has really helped. I am more chilled out and I seem to remember to correct posture during the day. I feel less cravy for poor diet and more like I am looking after myself. I would love to hear from anyone who practices yoga about the benefits and tips on losing weight through yoga. This forum is really great and supportive I am very inspired by this xx

IndigoBlue61 do you follow your yoga from a yoga class on line or do you go to a class. Just wanted to know if there is an on line one that you would recommend?
